The DPS Memorial Ride will be held on the last Saturday in the month of September. The ride will start and end at DPS  headquarters. The course will be determined on a year to year basis. The course will be set to challenge the rider but not to the extent of endangerment. The ride will be as a group in columns of twos and scheduled rest stops will ensure the physical readiness of the riders. We will be escorted by DPS marked units and possibly members of the “Blue Knights” motorcycle Club.

The ride will end at DPS headquarters where the riders, support members and honored guest will hold a vigil celebrating the event. A meal will also be served to the riders, support members and special guest who participated in the event.

Registration after July 31st will return to the $250.00 minimum entry fee.
